years, texas wouldn't even have to pay a penny. but governor perry said no, we want to continue to have the most uninsured people in the country. we're not going to expand medicaid, even if it's not going to cost us a penny. >> in your heart, is this going to work? >> yes, it is. and it's because -- it's not just poor people benefiting, but hospitals. hospitals need the money and business realizes the medicaid expansion is good for the economy and good for business. so even though there may be nine governors who have said you're not going to expand medicaid, i believe most, if not all of them will, because the hospitals want it and because business wants it. >> i'm hoping the hospitals pressure those states to say this is a terrible idea, because it's bad for the economics of hospitals, as well as being bad for poor and lower middle income people. >> great to have both of you was tonight. thanks so much. >>> up next, karl rove makes his return to fox news airwaves. we'll show you his big idea for the fiscal cliff. >>> welcome back.
